Home · Services · Emergency Roof Tarping
Securing a storm opened roof with a properly anchored tarp the same day, so rain stops entering while the repair or the claim is arranged.
Tarping in Plainfield is storm response work. The July 3, 2025 thunderstorms dropped trees and power lines across the city, left about 8,000 residents without power, and were followed by flash flooding along Cedar Brook later that month. A roof opened by a tree or a lifted section takes the next rain band directly; tarping is anchored for wind, photographed before covering, and filed under the storm date.
This is the emergency page. A roof open to the sky during storm season takes water with every band that passes, and policies expect reasonable protection against further damage. If a tree is on the roof, stay out of the rooms under it until someone has looked at the structure. Call, keep people clear, and do not climb up to take your own photos.

Assessment and repair of wind and hail damage after a storm date: lifted and missing shingles, bruised mats, dented metal, and the leaks that follow.
Replacement of the metal details where roofs actually leak: chimney and wall flashing, valley metal, vent pipe boots, and drip edge.
Diagnosis and repair of a roof that leaks, has lost shingles, or shows storm wear, scoped to the actual failure instead of a full replacement sales pitch.
